Flora Fyrdraaca wants nothing more than to be a ranger, and for that she must master the magickalโand dangerousโ language of Gramatica. But before she can find the ideal teacher, her aspirations are put to the test. Would a true ranger be intimidated by a tentacle that reaches for her from the depths of a toilet? Be daunted by her best friendโs transformation into a notorious outlaw, thanks to a pair of sparkly stolen boots? Be cowed by the revelation that only she can rescue the city of Califa from the violent earthquakes that threaten its survival?
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Never. Saving her city and her best friend are the least a Girl of Spirit can doโyet what Flora doesnโt expect are the life-altering revelations she learns about her family and herself.
